Producer-director Karan Johar, renowned for hosting the popular streaming chat show 'Koffee With Karan', recently shared a heartwarming anecdote from his directorial debut film 'Kuch Kuch Hota Hai', featuring Bollywood stalwarts Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol, and Rani Mukerji in pivotal roles.
In a recent episode of his chat show, KJo warmly welcomed Kajol and Rani onto the couch to reminisce about their decades-long friendship and reminisce about old memories.
During the engaging conversation, Karan Johar fondly revisited a moment when Kajol had provided him with invaluable advice and encouragement during the initial days of shooting 'Kuch Kuch Hota Hai'. Reflecting on the first day of the film's shoot, KJo recounted Kajol's words to him, where she expressed, "Karan, you're a bit soft. You might feel intimidated on such a big set. You need to demonstrate that you have control. Despite being only 24 years old, you're the director. So why don't you loudly shout at me?"
The director of 'Ae Dil Hai Mushkil' further elaborated on Kajol's suggestion, stating, "She suggested, 'If you manage to do that, everyone will recognize that you should take this director seriously because he even raised his voice at Kajol'. I found it incredibly sweet, although I didn't end up raising my voice because I felt it might be too overwhelming if, on the first day, I began shouting at such a prominent movie star."
'Koffee With Karan' season 8 is currently available for streaming on Disney+ Hotstar, offering viewers another entertaining dose of candid conversations and delightful anecdotes from the world of Bollywood.
